Help - Windows 8.1 update broke something!

[Nimz]

We have 2 Lenovo G510's at the office and the people using them got updated to Windows 8.1 from 8.
Everything works fine, except for the browsers (IE, Chrome & Firefox) - just won't load websites.
Email, Skype etc works fine - checked missing drivers in the device manager and found no issues.

Downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the Lenovo website and also tried re-installing Chrome etc and still no luck.

Check on the windows 8.1 PC's whether the firewall is blocking port 80 (http)

Quick test would be to disable the firewall, and try browsing. If you can browse, then firewall is blocking port 80.

If you still can't browse, then the problem is elsewhere, and it's time to go back to Win7...

What do you get when you do a tracert www.mweb.co.za ?

If you can't get a tracert to run, check the gateway IP of the affected PC's.
